He is at this moment going through a MRI to rule out swelling or stroke as he appears to have posterior fossa syndrome. He initially passed his swallow study and had a gag reflex. I want to support her in anyway I can. We are nurses, both of us, and we are unused to being on this side of the glass. We are always empathetic with our patients and do our utmost to be good patient advocates, support the patient and family. This is uncharted area for me. I just want to do all I can to help, say the right things. A co-worker of mine’s son had surgery on Friday (Good Friday) to remove a tumor and has been diagnosed with medullablastoma.

My 8 year old daughter had the same surgery and same outcome last Thanksgiving. Ian will walk again, he will eat again and talk your ear off again. Listen to your doctors and your therapists, they are the experts and continue to believe in your faith, it will keep you going. Look up a website: We Can Brain Tumors. There are more of us than you can imagine out there who have and are living through this difficult journey! Hi
